Re: st: Graph format that can be edited in Word/Windows applications?Any other ideas for non-stata users to edit my work?

[Jeph Herrin <junk@spandrel.net>]

If you are determined to create Stata graphs, omit the labels and
save them in Windows MetaFile (WMF) format. These can be opened and
edited in windows image editors, including Word.

To omit the labels simply specify them with empty strings, ie,

. scatter y x, yti("") xti("")

Hope this helps.
